Sir Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, have been together for over two decades. The couple also share two sons, Zackary and Elijah, who they are trying to raise to be humble and appreciative of the value of money.
Sir Elton John is a critically acclaimed musician with 32 albums and no signs of stopping. At 73 years old, the singer still gets booked for many gigs.
Even though the musician still has a thriving career after over three decades, he is looking to focus on different aspects of his life, like his marriage with David Furnish and their two sons, Zachary and Elijah.
Before life became about raising their sons, John and Furnish had a whirlwind romance that started in 1993. The “Sacrifice” singer said he had returned to his house in Windsor and wanted to meet new people.
So he asked a friend to get people together for dinner, and among those people was Furnish, with whom John said he shared an instant connection. John loved that he was a bit shy and dressed well.
The day after, the two went on a date, which began their long-term relationship. They were in a civil partnership for nine years and eventually decided to get married in 2014
The couple sent out invites on Instagram. The whole day was special, especially sharing it with their sons, who had the big job of ring bearers.
Sharing their union with their kids was heartwarming for Furnish and John, especially since their journey to becoming parents was not easy. It started in 2009 when they built a connection with a Ukrainian boy named Lev at an orphanage for children with HIV.
The couple wanted to help him as he came from a broken family, but the government did not permit it because Lev was considered too old. However, the couple still talked to Lev and helped him.
